Through Setzer's Slot Command, the player can summon the esper without having to equip the magicite.

EtymologyEdit
Quetzalí is the name given to a young Quetzal. The word originates from the Nahuatl language, the primary language of the Aztecs. The word Quetzalli translates into English as "large brilliant tail feather". The root quetz means "to stand up", accurately describing the position of the quetzal's colorful posterior plumage.
